M.D. Theses on Medicine, Culture, and Society, 1994-2010

This selection of Yale M.D. theses submitted between 1994 and 2009 is intended to convey a sense of the range of research topics on medicine, culture, and society that students have pursued in recent years. The theses represent research in such fields as biomedical ethics, medical history, ethnography, medicine, and the arts, and medicine and literature, as well as some but not all topics relating to the psycho-social dimensions of health and the qualitative social sciences. Rather than making any sharp, too-often unhelpful division between the humanities and the social sciences, the aim here is to capture a sense of the rich array of original research projects that Yale medical students have undertaken.

How will my information be used?

When you express interest in a specific study, the information from your profile will be sent to the doctor conducting that study. If you're eligible to participate, you may be contacted by a nurse or study coordinator.

If you select a health category rather than a specific study, doctors who have active studies in that area may contact you to ask if you would like to participate.

In both cases, you will be contacted by the preferred method (email or phone) that you specified in your profile.
